I am interested in supervising people with an interest in social psychology, crowd behaviour, or collective action. For example I am currently researching the protests calling for a ceasefire in the Middle East conflict & would welcome PG research projects into these and other topical collective action protests. I am also interested in public intervention in emergencies/mass casualty incidents (a concept known as 'zero-responders') and public behaviour during the COVID-19 pandemic, and its implications for emergency planning and response. Therefore, I would be especially interested in supervising emergency responders and other public health professionals who wish to do PG research. 

I am also interested in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) and the broader area of collective resilience in response to general adversity. I would be keen to work with health professionals interested in postgraduate research in any of these areas.  

I would be very interested in supervising postgraduate students conducting projects on:

• Vulnerability and forensic investigative interviewing;
• Evidence-based child forensic interviewing techniques;
• Working with police (nationally and internationally) to overcome barriers to prosecuting cases involving children and adolescents;
• Understanding factors that promote decisions to disclose and designing strategies to promote honesty.

Deanna has supervised PhD, MA and Bachelor students on topics related to border violence, urban resistance and housing struggles.

She is available for supervision on PhD projects related to the criminalisation of resistance and mutual aid, on border violence and urban spaces. She also welcomes proposals informed by feminist and decolonial methodologies. 

I'm happy to supervise PhD students on a range of topics broadly relating to Forensic Psychology and Cyberpsychology. I am especially interested in supervising students adopting an Eye Tracking methodology. Current PhD projects I am supervising address the following:

• Terror Management Theory approaches to climate change communication (Joe Rennie-Taylor)

I will be delighted to supervise PhD students interested in gender-based violence, especially where it involves violence against women and girls (in particular domestic violence and abuse, sexual violence, and so-called 'honour' crime), the criminal justice response to such violence, and the impact on survivor-victim journeys. Linked to this, I also welcome PhD students with an interest in justice-involved individuals, particularly women and their families. 

My most recent doctoral student successfully passed her viva in January 2019. Her doctorate assesses the impact of cuts to Legal Aid on the administration of immigration law and asylum cases.

I am now supervising a student examining issues around anonymity for both complainants and defendants in rape trials.

I would be interested in supervising other doctoral students with interests in Legal Aid, or in research areas covering crime, criminal justice, restorative justice, or youth offending.

James is interested in receiving postgraduate research proposals in and around his areas of expertise. These include:

• violence against minority/minoritised groups
• youth victimisation
• young people's access to justice
• hate crime
• trauma and healing
• identity-based violence within an intersectional framework (gender, sexuality age, class, disability, race)

Raphael is interested in receiving proposals for doctoral studies across politics, sociology and criminology. His areas of expertise include critical approaches to protest and social movements; criminal justice and social policy; migration and citizenship; policing and security; nationalism and the far right; critical and democratic theory; and public inquiries.

My research areas are law, criminology, and gender studies. I am particularly interested in supervising students looking at any of the following: hate crime and hate crime victimisation, domestic and sexual violence, gender and criminal law, gender and the family, online interpersonal crime, online misogyny, online hate crime, feminist theory and methods, LGBTQI+ experiences. I am also interested in the use of innovative research methods.

I am willing to consider cross-disciplinary PhD supervision, and internal or external cross-department supervision.

I have experience of supervising undergraduate, masters and PhD students. The projects these students have undertaken have been very varied, and have included topics such as: the importance of good food and nutrition to people in prison; parental strategies to reduce the risk of online bullying; narrative construction of political speeches about gun crime in America; reasons for abolition of the death penalty in specific US states; the Scandinavian prison system; the experience of offenders families and the Old Police Cells Museum in 51app. The majority of my students have used qualitative methods which have included focus groups, interviews (both in-person and online) and ethnographic observation. In addition, many of my students have undertaken analyses of cultural products such as films, documentaries, news reports and exhibitions.

With regards to future projects, I would be happy to consider any application or idea although my own research interests include punishment and prison; narrative; the death penalty; museums and exhibitions; cultural memories and cultural forgetting and cultural comparisons.
